Paris Panthéon Fast-Track Ticket

A Filming Location for Midnight in Paris,
The Paris Panthéon

Visit the Panthéon, a filming location for the movie 'Midnight in Paris.' The path from the subway station to the Panthéon is especially beautiful, so we highly recommend a visit. Originally built as a church, the Panthéon is now more famous as a tomb for people who have contributed to the country. Many artists who have enriched the history, culture, and art of Paris are buried here.

The architecture itself is considered a masterpiece of French Neoclassical architecture, and many people visit to see the interior.

Who Can You Meet Here?

At the Panthéon, you can see the tombs of famous scientists Pierre and Marie Curie, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (author of Emile), Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, and other famous French figures.

There are also many must-see places inside, such as Foucault's Pendulum in the central hall and the statue of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris.

Fun Facts About the Panthéon

Unlike the Roman Panthéon, the Paris Panthéon, which houses great figures, has an interesting story. It's said that people didn't choose to be buried in the Panthéon themselves, but were buried there by later generations, so former enemies are buried right next to each other.

Rousseau and Voltaire, who were enemies during their lifetimes, died in the same year and are lying next to each other! It's a place with a very interesting story.

Differences from National Cemeteries

The difference between the Paris Panthéon and national cemeteries is that even if someone is buried in the Panthéon based on historical events, they will be moved elsewhere if a scandalous past is revealed later. In other words, both the evaluation at the time and the evaluation by later generations must be recognized for them to remain in the Panthéon.

This is quite different from Korea, where once someone is buried in a national cemetery, they remain there forever.

Highlights of the Panthéon

The Paris Panthéon is a product of Neoclassical and Gothic architectural styles, and it is highly regarded as a building in itself, apart from being a tomb. You can also go up to the dome with a Panthéon guide. It's a steep climb, but it's definitely worth it for the best views. The views from here are truly beautiful.

The art collections displayed inside are also worth seeing. Major events in history, such as the French Revolution, are reflected in frescoes and sculptures.

Shopping and Attractions Near the Panthéon

The 5th arrondissement, where the Panthéon is located, is home to the must-see Luxembourg Gardens and Palace. For shopping, you can find luxurious boutiques in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, north of the palace. You should also visit the world-famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore.
